WASHINGTON. Feb. 4-Senator Pugh
said to representative of the United
Press yesterday that there was no doubt
but that the President would sign the In
ter-State Commerce bill. The Attorney
Generals opinion had been favorable, and
the measure could now be looked upon as
a National law. The Senator went on to
say the bill was not all he had wished to
have it, but it was impossible to expect
that the initiatory stepin matter of such
great consequence should be entirely
atisfactory. The measure would, un'
doubtedly, be amended by Congress from
suggestions that the commissioners would
find necessary to make as soon as any
practical application of the bill was made

The passage Of the bill to dctach two
sections of the town of Pine River, all
the portion Of the village af Alma which
lies in that town and the annexation of
it to the town of Arcadia has aroused
fury in the minds Of many st. Louis
people They are reluctant TO forcgo
their authority over Alma and feel
ing shorn of power have INDUCED in
dreadful insinuations against the senate
The idea of the bill IS TO place Alma
under harmonious and Well disposed
township government, thereby remoy-
ing the rancor which has existed by
reason of a belief that ST Louis was
unjust toward her smaller rival. But
the 1T. Louis people and Tie st. Louis
newspapers have attributed corrupt
motives to the Sanate in passing the
bill. grounding the innuendoes, Tor
there is no direct charge, ON the activity
which Mr.. \. w. Wright, wealthy
citizen of Alma. has manifested to Sc
cure instrumentation. lnparticuiW Sen
ator Post, who represents the district in
question has been viciously assailed.
He paid no attention to the matter un-
til copy of the It. Louis Leadsr, OWL
ed and edited by an attache of the Sen
ate. was received here. which contained
paragraph mtimating that he was
probably corruptly influenced to act as
he did. lie said that if the responsible
editor was not employed by the Senate
he would disregard the matter, but
under the circumstances me felt called
upon to ask an Investigation into the
matter. \ committee will be appointed
The bill passed the Senate with only
one negative. 1t is now pending in the
House, where the riyalries of the two
villages clash to such a degree that the
members think the best solution Of the
matter is to set up Alma by herself
